Freeport (III.) Journal-Standard Pg. 6 May 10, 1968 Freeporter Turns Dollars Into Silver An unidentified Freeporter has given up at least partially an interest in those lovely crisp greenbacks put out by- Uncle Sam. A customer of the State Bank had Myrl Maynard of the bank exchange $1,290 in one dollar silver certificates for something with a little more "weight" 62Vfe-pound bar of pure silver.

Everett Wright, bank president, said the Federal Reserve System is replacing silver certificates with Federal Reserve Notes, which he said are backed by "the full faith and credit of the government," instead of silver. Maynard purchased the silver bar from the Federal Government's assay office in New York. The transaction represented a $1,000 profit. This is based on the the purchaser paid for each ounce of silver ($1,290 for the 1,000 ounce bar). The present cash market values the silver at $2.28 an ounce.

It took six weeks to obtain the silver because of lengthy processing of the request at the assay office. It was delivered to the State Bank by Brink's Armored Car Service, and will remain in the bank's vault until the owner decides what to do with the silver. It is believed he'll probably sell it.

UMf The Stephenson County Association for Mental Health has been reorganized the past year, "to meet a desperate need for coordinating agency, an brella' abency," the Rev. Adolph H. Weideman, association president, told the Stephenson County Council for Youth Wednesday.

Father Weideman stressed the need of the whole community to be involved in mental health, in a program designed to keep the mentally disturbed in their own community, not withdrawn from it longer than may be necessary for treatment. He said it's "of exteme importance" that the public be educated on mental health. "The Mental Health Association hopes to acquire hundreds of members. The membership dues are $2." Children's Division Father Weideman suggested that the Youth Council take part in the mental health program, becoming its children's mental' health division. The president of the Youth Council, under this plan, would become a vice president of the Mental Health Association.

The Mental Health Association organized the campaign for a county mental health tax, approved in the county referendum of April 1967, to provide community mental health services. Role Of Agency Besides its work in educating the public, the role of a voluntary mental health association is to monitor the public agencies, supporting their request for funds and calling attention to unmet needs. The public agenices here are the year-old Stephenson County Mental Health Board, which has just obtained an executive director, and the state's Singer Mental Health Zone Center in Rockford, not yet in full operation. JOB To Reopen Father Weideman was the speaker at the annual meeting of the council, held at the YMCA, with Mrs. Ruth Ann Gruenau, vice president, presiding.

James Konopa and William Kleckner announced that JOB the youth employment clearing house, will be reorganized, to operate this summer, providing work for junior and senior high students. It has been inoperative after a previous successful operation. The council's dental program provided dental care for 29 chil dren without means for private care.
